I know you're being sarcastic, but the mismatched silver and blueish silver have always bothered me...and I know I'm not the only one. Has nothing to do with the "brand" though. That star is pretty recognizable.

Im kidding about needing new brand. That star is worth a billion dollars. Im not kidding that their mismatched silvers are u.g.l.y.

If you don't like these, and would prefer black (not even a school color), then I don't know what to tell you....

Ugliest yellow helmet we've had..doesn't even match pants

Those uniforms still look f***** cool.

I agree, helmet gold isn't as "mustard" as the striping, and main pants color is more pure-gold. Somehow it doesn't bother me much.

Question for design-type experts, related to this: Could there be something inherent about how differently coloring works on helmet shells vs. fabric? Or were (for example) the Bruce-era differences in gold a matter of being unable to match the colors as precisely as they wanted? That is, were options for helmet hues in the past more realistically limited than in recent years?

Someone brought up the mismatch Cowboys silver/gray — a closer example to the '76-period ISU look for me is, at one point I remember Vikings uniforms looked inconsistent between helmet and jersey. Helmet looked like a deeper/darker purple, they didn't seem to match.

Anyone have insight into that?

I realize the following: Nike is our supplier, the stripes are longer, and there's no helmet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see where you are going. With no helmet the team will be totally bad ass. But this just seems like tempting the fates - injuries are an ISU problem when they do wear helmets.

Cyclones channel on Mediacom last night (night before?) ran 1976 highlights. Outstanding unis, home and away. Apply the pants gold to the lid, you've got a winner. imho.

Always found black uniforms make team look smallish compared to competition. And in this conference, they are the home turf of Texas Tech. So be ready for some ribs if ISU trots them out this fall. Can't imagine!

Yeah because we already don't get clowned for "USC knockoffs" and "McDonalds."

I think we will somehow manage all the "ribs"...

Half the conference wears or has worn all black uniforms recently.

Or, that's just the interpretation of people who want black uniforms.

Wrong. I've stated clearly in this thread I'd prefer to not have black unis. If people watch that video, and don't see black uniforms coming, then our education system has failed us.

I hope you're not thinking 49ers gold. If so, GTFO.

I agree the shiny Packers yellow is a little too bright and candy-like. I'd prefer a more muted, darker yellow with a matte finish.

I go between hating your ideas and being completely on board. This one is 100% dead on.

I dig this color of gold - maybe could be better with a little more yellow in it, but better than the yellow mustard we've had

I feel like we'd have to deepen the cardinal a bit if we went with a truer gold color, otherwise I think it would clash.
